People who are colors blind will still see different Grey. I just had to check if the colors I used produce different Grey with a certain minimum difference value. > > ---------------------------------------------------------- We see where you are going, but "different enough" sounds like something related to our contrast measures. The problem is that if the colors are different enough to meet the contrast requirements, then they can't both meet the contrast requirements with the background. We don't have any data to specify 'different enough' other than our contrast ratio (which can't be used per the previous sentence) so we don't treat it here. If data comes in later that we can use, we can add other sufficient techniques to reflect it.
